Community Service

Wilderness Garbage & Recycling Service supports those helping others in our community…..please give consideration as to how you might be able to help the following organizations.

CAN Cancer!

Community Assistance for Neighbors with Cancer. CAN Cancer was established by Gil, Stu and Corinne Martinez of Wilderness Garbage in cooperation with the Central Oregon Haulers, a group of garbage and disposal companies including Bend Garbage & Recycling, Cascade Disposal, High Country Disposal, and Madras Sanitary Service.

2012 CAN Cancer Campaign

Once again, your donations to Central Oregon garbage haulers will
be used to assist Central Oregon families with non-medical expenses..
helping ease some of the financial pressures faced while fighting
cancer. In 2010, CAN cancer raised well over $30,000.00, touching
families across the Central Oregon region. Look for the purple
envelope in your garbage statement or visit, cancancer.org and donate
online. Every dollar counts and CAN make a difference!
